This
TV show embraced violence, empowerment and sex/sadism,
the primary maxims of television. A human subject
was suspended in a television studio. Electrodes
were placed on various muscle groups in the subjects
arms and legs. The electrodes interfaced with a
four line telephone system. In this way the TV audience
could remotely control the muscle system of the
human subject by using their touch-tone phones to
send mild electric shocks into the human subject.
